Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes 24Mg (78.99%), 25Mg (10.00%), and 26Mg (11.01%). What is the isotopic mass of 25Mg if the mass of 24Mg is 23.985 amu and the mass of 26Mg is 25.983 amu?
- 23.985amu (0.7899) + x(0.100)
- + 25.938amu (0.1101) = 24.31amu
- x= 24.31amu - 18.946 - 2.856= 25.08amu
- 0.100
